## Gedit
|
|
|
|
Note: this highlights based on syntax and does **NOT** attempt to validate arguments or keywords. The syntax highlighting is unlikely to be 100% accurate and is open to improvement.
|
|
|
|
The syntax highlighting will automatically be applied to all files with `conky` in their name. eg. `my_config.conky` (unfortunately it also triggers for the `conky.lang` file itself, you should set it to XML manually)

Developers: The main context (`id="conkyrc"`) is where gedit begins. This main context then references other sub-contexts. Each context can apply styles to itself, sub-strings from its regexs, or its contents (in the case of `<start><end>` "container" contexts). If you are ever confused by something, try searching for XML attributes in the [`gtksourceview` docs][1]. If you find a particularly complex regex, try using the Regex Tester linked above, and bear in mind that `gtksourceview` adds some extra regex syntax (i.e. `\%[ ... ]` and `\%{ ... }`).
